Day after surgery

We found out that his ultrasound was good. He didnt have any clots. They tried to do labs today and at first they were unsuccessful. The cardiologist came in and did his echo. The cardiologist told us that he found a decent size clot. The doctors talked it over and they are gonna start the anticolagant twice a day to hopefully keep more clots from forming and getting bigger. They have to take labs everyday. Humph they are concerned with the veins collapsing and not being able to use them. The thing is they dont have enough veins to keep taking blood. They are talking about putting a pic line in they want to wait however we feel that they may have to consider this earlier than they want. He will have to be on the antcolagant for 3 months and the antibiotics for 2 to 4 weeks. Due to the cultures coming back positive. thanks to all. Will update when we know more.
